Brian Howlett

BSc, MSc Life Sciences

What I can offer:

Strategic and practical advice based on extensive international experience (EU and US) on boards of directors and interim management situations; well proven in raising finance, business turnarounds and organic growth in blue chip corporations and early stage enterprises, especially in medical technology.

My expertise:

Funding: I have been central to raising £49 million at IPO and successive rounds from 2005 through 2009 in rapidly deteriorating capital markets or a pre - commercial stage Company.

Technology transfer and commercial adoption: I blend deep knowledge of the markets for medical products with an understanding of the clinical, regulatory, manufacturing, sales and marketing processes leading to early technology adoption and ultimately commercial success.

Team leadership and mentoring: A proven and effective leader, I blend strategic vision with hands on management expertise. I have a record of succesful team building and integration post M& A, and technology transfer towards rapid growth in revenues and profitability.

What interests me:

Creating opportunities for highly motivated and talented people: Some of my most rewarding experiences have been building teams that accomplish remarkable things together.

Finding solutions to tough problems: I am tenacious, persistent yet focused and calm even when a Company is in the most challenging circumstances. Experience, proven judgement and finding the right approaches, resources and engagement within the team will create the way forward.
